900; or, The Last President by Ingersoll Lockwood is a short political novel first published in 1896. Set around a deeply divisive American presidential election, the story imagines a country shaken by political unrest, economic resentment, and fears that the existing social order is beginning to collapse
.
After the unexpected victory of a populist candidate supported by working-class voters, New York City becomes the center of growing tension. Crowds take to the streets, wealthy citizens fear violence and property destruction, and political factions struggle over the future direction of the nation.

Rather than functioning as a traditional adventure novel, the book is largely a piece of political and social speculation. Lockwood explores class conflict, populism, economic inequality, political instability, and the fragility of democratic institutions during periods of intense division. The story reflects many of the anxieties surrounding American politics at the end of the nineteenth century.

Today, 1900; or, The Last President is an unusual historical curiosity as well as a work of political fiction, offering readers a glimpse into how an author of the 1890s imagined a future United States confronting social upheaval and a potentially transformative presidency.Copyright Mentor New York アート 世界 文学史・文学批評
